FWA Q&A: MICHAEL CHURCH
MICHAEL CHURCH on the silence of Melbourne...golden showers in Jakarta...and a Chinese fan who cycled 2,000 kms to meet “him”Have you ever worked in a profession other than football?
Yes, I worked as a lifeguard at my local swimming pool for much longer than I care to admit or remember during my teenage years back in my home town of Larne, in Northern Ireland. The sights seen back in those days still haunt me. Baywatch it most certainly was not.

PHILIP QUINN, football correspondent of the Irish Daily Mail, on meeting himself...why a football writer was Man of the Match in Paris...and bunged up for a week at the Tour de FranceHave you ever worked in a profession other than football?
No. Signed on as a freelance aged 17 in 1979 with the Evening Herald armed with notebook, pen, wide-eyed wonder and, crucially, a copy of the Dublin bus timetables. Nearly 35 years on, the wonder has never left me.

FWA Q&A: MIGUEL DELANEY
MIGUEL DELANEY on super Spain...awesome Ajax...and magnificent McIlvaneyHave you ever worked in a profession other than football?
Sort of, but not really. I was lucky enough to go straight out of university into a job on the sports desk of the now sadly-defunct Irish paper, the Sunday Tribune. And, although they tried to inflict other sports on me that I never had any real interest in, I was always leaning towards football!
